Dental implants are titanium anchors that are inserted surgically into jawbone. Small posts are then attached which provide stable anchors for the prosthetic tooth. The implant surgery is a two-step process:- The first step is when the implants are inserted into the jawbone. It takes around 3-6 months for the implant to bond with your jaw.
